➳ Chapter 49

Um-order na kami ng kakainin namin for brunch since we both haven't eaten breakfast. He took coffee and mine was milk, on the other hand.

"I would like to order carbonara and chicken empanada for me," I told the waitress calmly. If only I could request to serve them quickly.

Tumango ito sa akin. "Noted, Ma'am." Bumaling naman ito kay Matteo na ngayon ay nakatitig sa akin.

What? What did I do?

"What's yours, Sir?" Magalang na tanong ng waitress. Pinaglaruan ni Matteo ang kanyang mga labi habang tinititigan ako. What's his problem?

"Lasagna," aniya nang hindi tinatapunan ng tingin ang babae. "Also, give us your best seller pizza. We'll both take iced tea for drinks."

The waitress nodded her head in approval and flashed him a sweet smile. "Right away, Sir." She turned to look at me and smiled meekly.

Hindi ko napigilang magtaas ng kilay sa papalayong pigura ng waitress na iyon. So, kailangang ngising aso kay Matteo at tipid na ngiti lang sa akin?

Humor me.

Tumingin ako kay Matteo. Nakataas ang kilay niya sa akin ngayon habang may sinusupil na ngiti sa mga labi. I rolled my eyes exasperatedly.

"Tibay mo mag-carbo. Lasagna? Pizza? I mean, as if namang ikaw talaga ang uubos, hindi ba?" I huffed.

"Ang taray mo talaga. Ganyan ba kapag gutom ka? Don't worry. I'll make sure na mabubusog ka sa puder ko. It's my responsibility after all."

Ngumiwi ako. "Hindi ako mataray kapag gutom. Mataray ako sa lahat at hindi ka exception. What makes you special?" I said, faking disgust.

Lumaki ang kanyang ngisi. "I'm the only one for you and that's what makes me special among the rest, babe. You know it, too."

He playfully winked at me.

"Yuck, Matteo?" Tumawa ako. Hindi kasi niya bagay ang pagkindat. Parang ang creepy masyado sa kanyang tingnan. Goosebumps!

"See? I made you laugh effortlessly. Yes, I'm a very special gift to women, but I choose to offer myself to you. Well, I'm lucky to have you as well."

He's a thick faced scumbag, I tell you.

"More like you're a temptation to women and a freaking batshit crazy pest to me. Special? Nalipasan ka na yata ng gutom!" Tumawa ako.

He touched his chest, faking hurt and shock. I chuckled at his funny behavior. I wasn't informed that I got a kid for a boyfriend.

A hot kiddo.

"That stung, babe." Humalakhak siya at umiling. "Huwag mo na iyong uulitin," he warned, glaring playfully at me. He's so adorable, I can't even.

Just too much.

Tumawa ulit ako at umiling sa kanya. Nakakapanibago iyong ganitong side niya. Hindi ko akalaing may itinatago siyang ganitong pag-uugali. I just realized I've been smiling a lot more than usual recently. Hindi ko alam kung maganda lang talaga ang mood ko o dahil na rin kay Matteo. Hindi ko naman ipagkalailang masaya siya kasama. First impression lasts nga kasi, hindi ba? I once loathed him to bits and pieces.

Demonyito kaya ang first impression ko sa kanya at ang Matteo na nakikita ko sa kanya ngayon ay malayo sa salitang iyon. Halos isumpa ko siya noon dahil sa kapangahasan niya. Gusto ko na nga rin siyang ipakulam, e. I heaved a huge sigh. Naninikip ang dibdib ko.
